[QUOTE="Jaded Faith, post: 127646, member: 1068"] As a Mark V owner of several years with many rehearsals and gigs under my belt with it, here are some observations that might help: - The Mark V is lower gain than many assume, particularly those who have never played one but envy the tones of their favorite players who do. I have found a clean boost to be the most effective option for pushing mine when needed. - The early channel EQ freaks a lot of people out, as most are used to the post-gain tone stacks in most high gain amps. The channel EQ is like running a parametric pedal in front of the amp more than the EQ's you are used to. As a result, it shapes the "color" of the gain more than the tone of the amp. The Treble will be the dominant control by far and impacts the amount of gain available. The Mid and Bass knobs will have a minimal effect. - The slider EQ is post gain and should be used as a conventional channel EQ would to sculpt the tone. The options to use the sliders and the preset knobs along with the routing options give great flexibility for all the channels to be dialed in to taste. - Do note the odd behaviors of the effects loop and the impact the setting that the mix pot can have. It could be a good tool to give you a little something more even if you aren't using anything in the loop. Hope that helps! Rob [/QUOTE]
